MAX
FREDERICK REIHMANN—One of Camden's successful business men is Max
Frederick Reihmann, for many years proprietor of a sheet metal-working
shop, now conducted by his son, Paul Reihmann. After his long and
prosperous business career, Mr. Reihmann is now retired and spends his
time between Camden and West Palm Beach, Florida. He was born in Germany,
May 1, 1861; was educated in the public schools of his native country, and
studied plumbing and sheet metal-work in the German vocational schools. In
1888, at the age of twenty-seven, he brought his wife and children to
America, landing in Philadelphia, where he found employment and lived for
about a year. In 1889, he and his family moved to Camden, although he
continued to work in Philadelphia for some years. He bought out the shop
of Ernest Meuller, at Merchantville, in 1900, but remained there for only
one year, at the end of which he purchased the store and residence of
William Reed, in Camden, and founded a sheet metal-working shop. This
enterprise was most successful, and is still one of the leading concerns
of its sort in Camden. Mr. Reihmann retired from active participation in
the business in 1913, and the management was taken over by his three sons,
Max, Jr., Frederick, and Paul, for a time consolidating as Max Reihmann's
Sons for three years from 1917 to 1920. In 1920, Max, Jr., went into
business for himself, and the following year Paul bought out Frederick's
interest and has since been sole proprietor. Under his able management the
business is steadily prospering.

The
elder Mr. Reihmann is a member of Mozart Lodge, No. 121, Free and Accepted
Masons; Foresters of America; and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

Mr.
Reihmann married, in 1880, in Germany, Hermina Schultz, and they are the
parents of six children: 1. Frieda, born May 6, 1882. 2. Max, Jr., born
July 20, 1883. 3. Helen, born January 1, 1885. 4. Hannah, born April 20,
1887. 5. Frederick, born June 12, 1891. 6. Paul, of whom further.

career has been related in connection with the development of the business
which he now conducts. He is a director of the River Avenue Building &
